From Radio Astronomy to Politics and from Language to Financial Analytics,
We leave not fields untouched

Hydrus Labs was initially founded to bring forward advanced Artificial Intelligence and Radio Astronomy in Mauritius. As such privatizing Astronomy locally to ease-out local astronomy research. Our research includes the development of methods like segmentation and supervised learning for analysis of Radio Source Morphology. 

KreMoN (Kreol Morisien NLP) is an ensemble of Natural Language Processing tools designed to give systems the ability to understand Mauritian Creole; a language spoken by more than 1.3 million people. Hydrus Labs is currently collecting the data to be used to train the NLP tools namely a speech-to-text and an information extractor with more tools to come.

The Afrobarometer Survey data is an openly available data that provides timely data expressing the views of ordinary Africans on various topics like democracy, governance and economy. This helps in the dissemination of information to be used for development and policy making.

At Hydrus Labs, we take the Afrobarometer data at another level; Well… Astronomical Level. We use methods developed in Astronomy to produce useful yet advanced analytics to get a better insight on the data and help African stakeholders make better decisions.
